An Anderson County Sheriff's Office deputy was struck in his vehicle during a car chase early Saturday afternoon, said Sgt. J.T. Foster, a spokesman for the office.

The deputy was assisting in the pursuit of an unidentified suspect in an overnight carjacking from Anderson County into Greenville County and tried to intervene. He was attempting to travel through the intersection of State 20 and State 86 near Piedmont when his vehicle was struck by another motorist, Foster said.

"He was T-boned in the front of his patrol car," Foster said.

Neither driver was injured in the wreck, he said.

South Carolina Highway Patrol responded to the intersection, Foster said.
